About the Rank

​The Lion program weaves traditional Scouting concepts of character development, leadership skills, personal fitness, and citizenship into age-appropriate and fun activities for the Scouts and their parents. Lions work with their fellow Lion Scouts and each Scout’s adult partners. The program is focused on parent planning and delivery with support from the Cub Scout pack using literature specifically designed for the younger age group. ​ Lions earn the Lion badge at the end of the year after completing their other Lion activities. For Ages 5/6 or Kindergarten
